THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that this control causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can temporarily dis- continue your service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, opera- tions, or procedures that could affect the operation of this control. The tele- phone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take

the necessary steps to prevent inter- ruption of your telephone service.

LIGHTNING

Your control has built-in protection cir- cuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone lines. These pro- tection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the telephone lines can dam- age your control.

Lightning damage is not common. Nev- ertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your control during storms to reduce the possibility of dam- age.
